2017/18 injury list by game

Cap Hit of Injured Players (CHIP) in this table represents the annual cap charge of a player missing a game through injury/illness (data from capfriendly.com)

"net CHIP" represents the difference in CHIP between a team and its opponent for a single game - positive if the team is "less" injured, negative if "more" injured

There will be inconsistency between my numbers and “official” team man-games lost (MGL) figures due to teams' different reporting standards

Injury absence data I have used comes from the player profile pages on tsn.ca

Figures generally exclude minor league players (at my subjective discretion) who are often on teams’ IR lists at the start of each season, but include anyone who gets injured while on the active roster during the season

Illnesses are included, but healthy scratches, suspensions, and absences due to “personal reasons” are excluded

Games missed by players still under contract but either officially “retired” or out indefinitely with no prospect of a return (Dave Bolland, David Clarkson, Ryane Clowe, Johan Franzen, Mikhail Grabovski, Nathan Horton, Marian Hossa, Joffrey Lupul) are excluded
